architect

architect is a skill for Claude Code from TheBeardedBearSAS/claude-craft. It costs 40 tokens per session (1,200 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A required architecture-planning phase for substantial changes before writing tests or code. It maps boundaries, contracts, data, processes, and ownership so the design is clear first.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before multi-file features, new modules, migrations, or integrations with external APIs, queues, or databases.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of making incompatible changes across multiple files, modules, services, or databases.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

architect scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Architect — Phase d'architecture avant TDD

Skill inspiré de obra/superpowers. Objectif : produire une spec d'architecture avant d'écrire le moindre test ou ligne de code.

Règle d'or : si tu ne peux pas dessiner le diagramme, tu ne peux pas coder la feature.

Quand utiliser

Situation Architect phase ?
Bug 1 fichier ❌ Non (go direct TDD)
Nouvelle feature < 3 fichiers ⚠️ Court (10 min)
Nouvelle feature > 3 fichiers ✅ Obligatoire
Nouveau module/bounded context ✅ Obligatoire
Migration technique ✅ Obligatoire
Intégration externe (API, MQ, DB) ✅ Obligatoire

Processus en 5 étapes

1. Identifier les boundaries

Quelles frontières la feature touche-t-elle ?

  • Domain boundaries — quels bounded contexts impliqués ?
  • Layer boundaries — Presentation / Application / Domain / Infrastructure ?
  • Process boundaries — sync HTTP / async queue / event-driven ?
  • Data boundaries — quelles bases de données, quelles tables ?
  • Ownership boundaries — quelle équipe owne quel morceau ?

Output : liste des frontières traversées.

2. Définir les contrats

Pour chaque frontière traversée, définir le contrat :

  • Inputs : format, types, invariants, nullabilité
  • Outputs : format, codes d'erreur, latence cible
  • Side effects : écritures DB, events émis, appels externes
  • Idempotence : le contrat est-il idempotent ?
  • Transactions : atomique ? eventually consistent ?

Output : signatures de fonctions/endpoints + DTO.

3. Dessiner les dépendances

Qui dépend de quoi ? Dans quel sens ?

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

architect is a skill published in the GitHub repository TheBeardedBearSAS/claude-craft (105 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 1,200 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
